Core Power Milk Shake, High Protein, Elite, Vanilla, 14 fl oz (414 ml)
What You Should Know
Core Power Elite Vanilla is a refrigerated, ready-to-drink protein shake packaged in a 14 fl oz plastic bottle, typically found in the refrigerated dairy or chilled beverages aisle near milk, yogurt drinks, other ready-to-drink protein shakes and sports recovery beverages. Shoppers spot its sport-forward branding and fairlife association on the label, which highlights "42g protein," electrolytes and "ultra-filtered milk" as quick visual cues. This product fits into grab-and-go mornings, after-gym recovery, busy workday lunches or as a portable meal-replacement on road trips. Brand positioning leans into performance culture — aimed at athletes and fitness-minded adults who value measurable recovery benefits and convenience; marketing emphasizes strength, rebuilding and athletic recovery rather than traditional indulgence. Label characteristics include health-halo claims like high protein, added vitamins and "ultra-filtered" milk language; it lists natural flavors and vanilla extract but carries no organic or non-GMO certification and uses low-calorie sweeteners and stabilizers. In plain terms, this is a highly processed, formulated dairy beverage designed for convenience and consistent nutrition. Sensory details: cold and creamy with a milkshake-like thickness, pronounced vanilla aroma and a smooth, slightly syrupy mouthfeel from added maltodextrin and stabilizers; sweetness is balanced between cane-derived honey and intense non-nutritive sweeteners, leaving a lingering sweet finish. The typical ritual is a chilled grab from the fridge post-workout or as a quick breakfast replacement — twist off the cap, drink straight from the bottle, and toss the empty in recycling. Its cultural footprint sits at the intersection of fitness practicality and modern convenience food.
